Episode # 8:

Flashback continues:-

At Maheshwari Industries, a crucial board meeting was underway. Sanskar sat alongside Vikram and Ram, while Arjun was notably absent, having excused himself with a vague mention of "important work." Recently, Rajnath had taken on handling Goenka's companies, leaving Sanskar more involved in the family's business.

The presentation moved smoothly until, suddenly, the screen shifted. Startling images and videos began to flash on the screen, leaving everyone stunned. The footage revealed Ram Maheshwari's involvement in human trafficking, showcasing the sinister act of kidnapping girls and children for illegal sales abroad.

The room was filled with shocked gasps. One of the board members turned to Vikram with a look of disbelief.

"Mr. Vikram," the member spoke up, "what is the meaning of this? How could such horrifying activities be happening under your watch?"

Vikram, enraged and humiliated, whipped his head toward Ram, who was wiping beads of sweat from his forehead. "Ram, what is this? How could you be involved in something so vile?"

Ram stuttered, trying to maintain composure. "B-bhaa...saa... I swear, this is all fake! I haven't done anything like this!"

Sanskar, always composed, interjected, "Father, we need to dismiss the board members. We'll handle this matter privately."

Vikram nodded. "Everyone, please leave for now. We'll provide a clarification at a later time."

The board members hesitated but, out of respect for the Maheshwari family, gradually left the room, though murmurs of concern and doubt lingered in the air.

Once they were gone, Vikram turned to Ram, fury blazing in his eyes. "Tell me the truth, Ram. If you're involved in this, I will have no choice but to hand you over to the authorities. Sanskar," he commanded, "call the police."

"Yes, Dad," Sanskar replied coldly, pulling out his phone. "Dad?" Ram exclaimed in a shocked tone.

"Yes, DAD... because your dear wife told us everything," Sanskar said with a smirk. "You've done terrible things, Ram. First, you exchanged our children, and now you're involved in this disgusting business? Sanskar, call the police immediately!" Vikram exclaimed.

Ram's face twisted into panic. "Bhaisaa! No, please! Don't do this!" But suddenly, his panic dissolved into a chilling, manic laugh. Vikram and Sanskar exchanged confused looks as Ram continued to laugh uncontrollably.

"You think I'll be scared? You believe that I'm some fool who didn't see this coming?" Ram sneered, his voice filled with malice. "You thought I was ignorant of your little plan from the start? Oh, bhaisaa, you're so naive."

Vikram's confusion deepened. "What are you talking about, Ram?"

Ram smirked, his tone filled with disdain. "I knew everything from the beginning. Do you think I didn't realize that Sanskar never lost his memory? No, no. It was your dear Swara who suffered memory loss, not him."

Sanskar's jaw tightened as he glared at Ram. "How do you know this?"

Ram leaned back with smug satisfaction. "Remember the party where we met again after so long? The one where you both conveniently left to fetch something Swara forgot? Well, I recalled that Swara didn't even carry a purse that night. It seemed fishy, so I followed you. And there, my dear, I discovered everything."

Both Vikram and Sanskar were stunned. Ram's arrogance was overwhelming.

"I knew all along," Ram continued with a sinister grin. "But I played along. I let you gather all this evidence against me because, frankly, I was bored. And I must say, I was thrilled when you turned against Sujata. That woman has been nothing but a thorn in my side, a dull and foolish wife I never cared for."
